What fun to celebrate my 100th episode with pediatrician and podcaster, Dr. Wendy Sue Swanson a.k.a. @SeattleMamaDoc in Twitter! I should say “almost” podcaster. At the time of this episode release the podcast is about two weeks away from launching. We have a fun conversation about podcasting (surprise!) and the kind of information and guests Wendy Sue plans to have on her show. We also discuss her work at Seattle Children’s Hospital and the fact that she stills sees patients one day a week!

In honor of my 100th episode I have a couple of podcasting friends and former guests share a greeting (Thanks, Dr. Mike Sevilla and Joe LaValle).

I also announced he launch of “Social Content Solutions” – a monthly social media content service providing content calendars, blog templates, social media news, and over 25 social media posts to fill a month-long calendar for a healthcare practice.

36:14 Introducing “Social Content Solutions”

When you only serve a one year term as the President of the American Academy of Pediatrics you better hit the ground running. That’s what 2015 AAP President Dr. Sandra Hassink did – with the help of her “Mission Control” team of Jamie Poslosky and Cassandra Blohowiak. Reaching out to engage with fellow pediatricians was a top priority and thus was initiated a series of Tweet Chats under the hashtag #EveryChildNeeds. Ably supported by #Tweetiatricians – Pediatricians who are active in Twitter, Dr. Hassink has led some lively Tweet Chats around topics central to promoting a healthy child.
